If you survived to the end of the Olympic Games opening ceremony, you may have been surprised to see Björk performing her new single to the assembled athletes, dignitaries and a global TV audience of 4.5 billion (no figures on how many were awake). Despite the mainstream exposure, her new album, Medúlla, is her oddest yet - with human sounds taking the place of instruments and a couple of songs the Observer Music Monthly compared to a cat coughing up a fur ball. You can hear samples of every track along with a veritable landslide of PC screensavers, interviews and kooky photos at this admirably value-packed site. There's also lots of videos - including the classic Spike Jonze-directed song and dance number for It's Oh So Quiet.

Reporting from the frontline of celebrity sludge, Defamer is a Hollywood gossip blog that holds no punches in its daily diet of bitching. It's also very funny - reporting on Disney boss Michael Eisner's visit to survey the lack of damage Hurricane Charley did to his Florida theme parks, they mourn a missed opportunity for the CEO to drag a "waterlogged Donald Duck out of the overflowing waters of Splash Mountain". More importantly the site is upfront with the latest word on Paris Hilton's missing Chihuahua, Billy Bob Thornton's rhinoplasty nightmare and Madonna's weird backstage requirements. As an interesting sideline the website's author has also declared war against Ugg boots and, as a consequence of that, the entire nation of Australia.

This EastEnders fansite has been going since 1997 but is currently on its uppers and looking for donations to help it stay online. Certainly, if you haven't watched the soap for years, then there is no finer place to fill the gaps as they've got scene-by-scene episode capsules of every single show since 1997. There's also a handy Albert Square map, lowdown on the new family (the Millers), character biographies, an EastEnders wordsearch and far too may photos of Ian Beale (that'll be more than one). For Walford aficionados it's also home to a buzzing forum where members can argue about Leslie Grantham acting/sighing ability.
